I may have cited multiple definitions of evolution—but it was not to point out the differences between them. It was to pile on evidence from a range of sources.
I don’t agree with your statements about the role of parent and offspring in cultural evolution. Nor—as far as I am aware—does anyone else in the field. Parent and offspring share heritable Shannon mutual information. The parent is
the source of the information, and the offspring copies from it.
